Damascus - An Israeli airstrike on a military position in central Syria early Saturday wounded six soldiers and destroyed several buildings, Syria’s state news agency SANA reported.
SANA quoted an unnamed military official as saying the airstrike near the town of Masyaf, in Hama province, hit a military academy widely known as the Accounting School. It said Israeli warplanes fired missiles toward Syria from Lebanon’s airspace and that Syrian air defenses shot down some of the missiles.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Israeli airstrikes hit three targets, wounding 17 Syrian soldiers. It said there were also deaths, but it was not immediately clear how many were killed and whether they were Iranians or Iran-sponsored fighters. It said the strikes ...

Join us as we explore how gluten free kosher machine made matzos are baked for Passover. It all starts with the factory preparation to ensure a gluten free working environment - gloves, gowns, and the whole works. Once the place is fully scrubbed, the dough preparation starts. Complicated as the timing is for regular matzos to meet the 18-minute mix-to-bake limit, creating viable dough with ingredients such as spelt and oats is an exact science requiring precise measurements, not to mention the highest level shmura kashrut standards for Pesach. After coming out of the oven, the matzohs are individually examined, sorted, and packed for shipment after passing through the weigh station.

Ramallah, West Bank - A new government for the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority was sworn in Saturday, led by a veteran peace negotiator and harsh critic of Gaza’s Hamas rulers.
President Mahmoud Abbas picked Mohammed Ishtayeh as prime minister, a move that deepens the internal Palestinian divide at a time when prospects for a peace deal with Israel are possibly at their lowest point ever.
A longtime adviser to Abbas and a senior member of his Fatah party, Ishtayeh and his 24-member cabinet took the oath of office at Abbas’ headquarters in Ramallah.
Ishtayeh faces tremendous challenges, with the PA in a deep financial crisis following U.S. sanctions and Israel’s withholding of $138 million in key tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinians. Israel says ...

Rep. Ilhan Omar is "off her rocker" and her fellow member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is a "joke" who will be seen "ultimately as an asterisk" in history, according to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Omar, D-Minn. is facing fierce backlash after a speech at a Muslim rights group's event in which she described the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks as "some people did something."
Speaking on the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio, Christie, who initially thought his wife was in the Twin Towers on the day of the attacks, said: "As somebody who had my wife two blocks away from the World Trade Center that day, my brother on the floor of the New York Stock exchange, and a number of people in our local parish here who passed away, a murder occurred.

At 8:00a.m. Friday, Israel Railways was forced to stop all train traffic throughout Israel due to the fact that nearly half of the National Railways Command’s traffic controllers “called in sick,” leading to chaos at several train stations.
Histadrut Chairman Arnon Bar-David ordered Israel Railways’ Employees’ Committee to immediately locate substitutes for the missing controllers and the trains were able to return to normal operations.
“Israel Railways’ management apologizes to the passengers and takes the wild and illegal step taken by the employees’ representatives very seriously. We will do everything possible in order to prevent such incidents in the future.”

Pennsylvania lawmakers on Wednesday honored the memory of the 11 Jewish worshippers who were killed in October 2018 at the Tree of Life Or L’Simcha Synagogue in Pittsburgh.
The joint session in the state’s House of Representatives in the capital, Harrisburg, was attended by nearly two-dozen relatives of the victims.
The opening prayer was conducted by Rabbi Jonathan Perlman of the New Light Congregation, which was one of the three services taking place at the synagogue during the shooting.
“This moment of American history and this ravaging Sabbath massacre in my hometown tells us that all is not well in our republic,” said Rabbi Cheryl Klein. “Hate is emboldened, and white supremacists are somehow mainstreamed. This diseased American moment was anti-Semitis...

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling all models of Fisher-Price Rock N' Play sleepers after it was linked to over 30 infant deaths.
The move comes just a few days after the American Academy of Pediatrics, a professional organization of pediatricians known by the acronym AAP, called on the CPSC to recall the products, citing an analysis from Consumer Reports magazine connecting it to 32 sleep-related infant deaths.
"This product is deadly and should be recalled immediately," Dr. Kyle Yasuda, president of the AAP, said in a press release. "When parents purchase a product for their baby or child, many assume that if it's being sold in a store, it must be safe to use. Tragically, that is not the case. There is convincing evidence that the Rock n...

Georgetown University could become the first college in the nation to mandate a fee to benefit descendants of slaves sold by the university nearly 200 years ago after a student referendum passed by almost a 2-to-1 margin.
The school’s undergraduates voted Thursday on the referendum, which would increase tuition by $27.20 per semester to create a fund benefiting descendants of the 272 slaves sold to pay off the Georgetown Jesuits’ debt — a move that saved the university financially.
“The Jesuits sold my family and 40 other families so you could be here,” sophomore Melisande Short-Colomb, a Georgetown student, said during a town hall to discuss the issue last week.
Short-Colomb, age 63, is one of four students currently attending the university under an admis...

A Lubavitcher working as a physician assistant writes to COLlive about real-life cases of the measles and their effect.
RPA-C in Williamsburg, Brooklyn“Measles is just a rash,” they said. Three-month-old Moshe’s eyes are red and have that obvious febrile sheen. His rectal temperature is 104.5, and flirting ever closer to a febrile seizure. Moshe’s baby skin is now turned ugly with a head-to-toe, deep red and pimply rash. On further exam, this child’s eardrums are bulging red and his lungs sound like a NYC subway train pulling into the station. Moshe’s fontanelles are sunken and his oral mucosa is completely dry. Moshe is dehydrated. Moshe may have a pneumonia. Moshe has uncomplicated measles. Always-friendly Mrs. Rosenblatt usua...

Jerusalem - The team behind the Israeli spacecraft that crashed into the moon has released a preliminary technical assessment of what went wrong.
SpaceIL, the start-up that sought to make history with the first privately funded lunar landing, revealed Friday that the spacecraft’s engine malfunctioned Thursday just 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) above the moon, making it “impossible to stop the spacecraft’s velocity.” The main engine then managed to restart, but it was too late: The lander was on a collision course with the moon at 500 kilometers (310.7 miles) per hour.
The crew said it would conduct comprehensive tests next week to understand what happened.
Had the mission succeeded, it would have made Israel the fourth nation to pull off a lunar landing.
